YOUNG ATTORNEY WINS IMPORTANT CASE FOR ORDER Lawyer Nelson M. Willis as an Attorney for the Grand Lodge of United Brothers of Friendship won an important case for the Order in the Common Plea Branch of Jefferson Circuit Court last week. The case which involves several hundred dollars was stiftly fought by two white attorneys who seemed at the outset to have the best of the argument. The case involved the payment of the death claim and certain other claims against the Grand Lodge on the life of one Samuel Thompson who died in 1922. The administrator of Thompson sought to recover the amount of the policy and other benefits on the ground of a finance card alleged to have been found in Thompson's possession. The lodge contended that Thompson had been unfinancial for a period of years and it was only a a very prudent handling of the case that Lawyer Willis was able to prove the lodge's contention. Lawyer Willis began his practice here after finishing his law course at Chicago University, and it was only a few months before he began to prove his ability to satisfactorily handle cases in the criminal and civil courts. He is popular, is a leader in the religious, business fraternal and social life of the community, and is the attorney for many Race organizations and institutions.
THE "CRISIS" CONDEMNS FISK PRESIDENT - Editor Declares Issue Is One Of Freedom For Students The leading editorial in the April Crisis, forthcoming on March 16, is devoted to the recent disturbances at Fisk University, and the editor of the Crisis declares the issue to be one of freedom for students: "It is not a question of color or race. No colored man has demanded a colored President at Fisk, but we demand a President who can teach and inspire and not merely drive and repress, and we care not what his color may be......Black folk want their children reared under all necessary restraints but they demand for them at the same time, that equally necessary freedom and self-respect without which manhood and womanhood is impossible. Fisk University today denies this, and denies it openly and frankly, and bases its denial on 'race,' so far [as it?] explains it at all.
Charging that the inner conditions at Fisk have been going from bad to worse, the Crisis editorial reports a disposition on the part of the trustees of the University last November to remedy some of the conditions complained of, but that President McKenzie nullified that favorable impulse (Conditioned on page 8)
WANTED BY MADISONVILLE POLICE Friendship does not mean much to [illegible] Johnson who is in the hands of [illegible] [police?] of Madisonville loundly exploting whatever information he has about the whereabouts of one Son Summers, who is wanted there for murder. Officer Chas. D. Franklin, city attorney of Madisonville phoned the Louisville Police Department that Son Summers is wanted there for murder, shooting and wounding in connection with a battle with their officers several days ago, when two officers were wounded and a third killed. The message avers that Henry Johnson also being held on the same case, gave a full description of Summers and said that Summers lives one block from Walnut Street on 16th Street with his sister Mamie. It is believed hat Summers was shot during the battle. Friend Johnson also stated that the officers would get Bennie Smith, 429 S. 20th St. to do all he could to locate Summers, by telling Smith that Johnson needed his assistance. Johnson claims Summers killed the officer. They are holding Virgil Knight in Madisonville wanted here and will bring him over when they come to take Summers back.
